The New Edition of the Competition for the Employment of Outstanding Scientists Has Been Launched
The Silesian University of Technology has launched a new edition of its recruitment programme for outstanding prominent and outstanding young researchers. Applications may be submitted until 25 August 2025.
As part of the implementation of the Excellence Initiative – Research University (IDUB) programme, the University continues its efforts to strengthen its academic staff by recruiting top-tier researchers from Poland and abroad. Candidates are expected to demonstrate potential to establish research teams, apply for competitive research funding – including Horizon Europe – and publish in prestigious academic journals.
The updated calls for applications, available in both Polish and English, have been published on the University’s website, the EURAXESS portal, and the website of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education.
We kindly encourage employees of the Silesian University of Technology to share this information with researchers who meet the eligibility criteria. The University offers a wide range of pro-quality support programmes, particularly attractive to those whose achievements align with the high standards set out in the competition.
Please note that, as of the current edition, applicants are required to submit an individual development plan, agreed with the unit in which they intend to work if successful, and confirmed by the head of that unit.
Applications must be submitted by 25 August 2025 via the electronic recruitment system indicated in the calls for applications.
